Jessy Lou's Halloween Cobweb Jumper

This is another top designed by jessylou. It was actually a lot harder to make than I anticipated and took forever! Basically I knitted the neckband, wrist, armbands and waistband, and then joined the plaited strips onto them with crochet.

I decided it would be a lot easier to make if it were on a mannequin, and finally (after hours of work) decided to bite the bullet and let Jess finish it off. It looks awesome in these pictures though! (Courtesy of Tim Richardson)

Catwalk Debut

Ok, I can't really call it my catwalk debut as it isn't my design, but anyway here's a couple of pics of the jumper I knitted for JessyLou's collection at the Brighton Frocks Theatrical Catwalk Show last weekend. As I mentioned in a previous post I just did the knitting part, so I can't take the credit for the rest!

Unfortunately I couldn't stay long as I was working elsewhere in the building (coincidence or what?) So I snuck in for 20mins armed with a camera and got these pics. Its a shame I couldn't have stayed because the whole event looked fab, I'd have loved to have sat in there and eyed up all the outfits!

Brighton Frocks

Just thought I'd post up what I've been up to in Cyprus - it seems ridiculous making such a chunky woolly jumper in such heat, I've been sat outside in my spangly new bikini knitting like a mad thing to give this to JessyLou at the weekend. It's a jumper she's designed and employed me to make for her collection at the Brighton Frocks Theatrical Catwalk show, she's going to sew pom pom's and a ruffle onto it, I'll post up her illustration later.
